This is our second build and I wanted to record the progress of the build with Homezone. Plus there isn’t much out there on Homezone so hopefully this might help others.

We shopped around and almost went with another builder but even though they offered everything we asked for, the house just didn’t look the way we wanted it and anything we asked for just made it go up in $$$$.

By fluke we walk into a display home and talked to Paul from Homezone and told him what we wanted and how everyone seemed to be offering the same thing. No one offered us a house that we would go “Wow that’s what we want“. So we walked out of there not thinking of ever going back there or talking to them again. A few days later Paul from Homezone emailed us a design and it just blew our socks off.

So I messaged him to find out the price and it came back really good so I met up with Paul from Homezone and told him how we would like thing to change to suit us. We basically want the minor rooms to be 4x4 m . The scullary to be a real scullary to keep all the mess in when entertaining. And the garage to fit 3 cars at 31c. This is what he sent me:

We love it. They did a few other drawing and very cleverly moved things around. I wanted the balcony ceiling to be removed so it goes straight to the skillion roof and wood look cladding to go underneath. They had to change to roof design to suit.

I’ve played with it a little and wanted just a few changes and sat down this morning with Paul and Martyn from Homezone and showed them this.

I am not good at doing this forum stuff so I hope it’s all working lol

I’m looking forward to seeing what they will come back with.

Just make sure you get it re-priced before signing as they've given you over 50m2 of extra house from the original plan (which I assume was priced?) to what you have now; definitely not cheap when most of it is on the upper floor

Yes thank you for the advice, we have the updated price and it still a really good price
